I really liked this. Plucky trusty is a great yarn for this. Got gauge spot on with steel needles. Wish I had added a bit more shaping in the waist but I’m really happy with it.

Changes:
Added an extra increase below the waist.

Used german short rows and it worked well for all sections but the twisted stitches in the rib. Would be better to turn between the twisted stitches instead.

I did 4 rows of reverse stockinette in the edge, 3 rows in the arm edging (instead of 2). Did not bother to sew in the st edge, I think it looks neat anyway. It does not roll up so I’m pleased.

Added a crochet edge in the buttonholes. Used 6 buttons instead of 4 (i think). Also I added a crochet edge on the inside to prevent the fronts from stretching. 1.5mm crochet hook.
